Currently between fat and fit, but making big strides towards being purely the latter with every passing day.
5'9" (roughly)
168lbs (also roughly)
Technically I am just about healthy weight. But I would say I am overweight because scales are lying bastards and I hate them.

I've been hitting the gym 3x per week for about a year and a half, and in ~november my wife and i started with a personal trainer. We now go 5x per week, 2 days of lift+cardio, 2 days cardio, and 1 with trainer. I've seen more improvement to my musculature in the past 2 months than in the entire previous year and a half.
Its not hard to go from skinny to fit, all it takes is the will to do so. And a personal trainer at a major gym. A chaotic evil one who takes pleasure in your agony.

5'7 or 8, 140 pounds, 15 years old. I've been trying to lose weight, obviously. I don't really eat much, it's just that I don't play many sports because my depth perception is so bad (left eye barely works) making catching something impossible.
That combined with extreme awkwardness around new people make it unlikely I'll ever get a girlfriend. Makes me sad, it does.

Jebus. Frickin' bike racers. Most non-cycling people I've known that size were (male) ballet dancers. They were in good shape and fairly strong for their rather small size, but still pretty much twigs.adderseal said:
I, on the other hand, have a much larger frame/build, and I'm a hair under 6' and just over 150 pounds at the moment. For me, this is very skinny, and in the past I've developed low blood pressure issues if I go any lower. If I drop below 150 I get my ADD meds taken away by my doctor (which sucks, because then I can't get any work done) and have to force feed myself until I put weight back on.
It's a pain in the ass, because I already eat at least 2500-3000 calories a day without exercising enough. To actually put weight on, I have to eat even more and put in a concerted effort with a decent amount of regular exercise. It took me months last year to get back over 160, and it all disappeared in six weeks when I took a break after hurting my wrist/shoulder.
I unintentionally am smaller than in high school, when I was 170-175 (depending on how much time I spent at the gym) and mostly muscle. At least my metabolism's slowed down a bit since then, so I don't have to eat nearly as much as I did then. I used to average ~4000 calories a day and was as high as 6000 occasionally. Most people who have ever had difficulty losing weight hate me. Heh.
I am quite skinny for my height. Maybe nearing anorexic, but I am not. I weigh 140 pounds and am 6'3. Been stuck at 140 for years now.
